Fronc ______________________________________________________________________________________________ GEOMETRY AND MEASUREMENT Geometric Figures – Two-Dimensional Geometry Task 1. Point and lines, angles, triangles, quadrilaterals, polygons, and the circle i. Point and Lines: Read the following sentences and choose the appropriate word in each pair. A straight line is a particular set/combination of points. Two lines which lie in the same plane and which do not intersect, i.e. they do not share one common point are called perpendicular/parallel lines. They remain the same distance apart at all times. Two lines that intersect and form right angles are called perpendicular/parallel lines. ii. Angles: Look at the attached glossary and match the name to the angle. a) An obtuse angle b) A right angle c) An acute angle 1.___ 2.___ 3.___ Triangles ABC is a triangle. It has three equal angles and three equal sides. A triangle that has three equal sides is called an equilateral triangle. ABC is an isosceles triangle. It has two equal sides (AC and CB). When a triangle has two equal sides then it also has two equal angles. All triangles can be classified into three categories: acute (-angled) triangles, obtuse (-angled) triangles, right (-angled) triangles. Two triangles may be called similar only if their corresponding angles are congruent and their corresponding sides are proportional in length. iii. Quadrilaterals and Polygons Polygons can be divided into regular polygons (when a polygon has all sides and all angles equal), and irregular polygons. We can also describe polygons as convex or concave. A convex polygon is a polygon that has all interior angles less than 180°. A polygon that has one or more interior angles greater than 180° is concave. iv. The Circle: Choose the correct word in each pair. All points on the circle are equidistant from the centre. The distance across a circle through the centre is called the diameter / radius. The diameter / radius of a circle is the distance from the centre of a circle to any point of the circle. The diameter / chord of a circle is twice as long as the radius – so it is as long as two radii. The diameter / chord is a line segment that joins two points on a curve. A circle can have many different diameters / chords – but if the diameter / chord passes through the centre it is called the diameter / chord / radius. The area of a circle equals πr2 where r is the radius The perimeter of a circle is called the circumference. The circumference is calculated by the formula C=2πr, where r is the radius. Task 2. Match the angle names a, b, c to their descriptions 1, 2, 3 a. A right angle 1. It measures more than 0O but less than 90O. (90 degrees) b. An acute angle 2. It measures more than 90O and less than 180O. c. An obtuse angle 3. It measures 90O. Task 3. Choose the word in italics that fits the following sentences describing pictures on the right. ABC here is a/an acute/obtuse/right triangle because all the angles are acute/obtuse. ABC is a/an acute/obtuse/right triangle because one of its angles is a right angle. 1 SJO PW - Język angielski ogólnotechniczny, Poziom B2 Lekcja 4 A Opracowanie: I. Zamecznik, M. Witczak, H. Maniecka, A. Hilgier, B.Przybyła, E. Fronc ______________________________________________________________________________________________ ABC is a/an acute/obtuse/right triangle because one of its angles is an obtuse/acute angle. In a right (-angled) triangle, the side opposite the right angle is called the hypotenuse and the other two sides are called the legs. If c represents the length of the hypotenuse and if a and b represent the length of the legs, then c2=a2+ b2 (which reads: c squared equals a squared plus b squared). This is Pythagorean Theorem, which states that in any right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the legs. Match the name to the figure: square, hexagon, pentagon Task 4. a)__________ b)__________ c)___________ These are examples of some regular polygons. A polygon which has four sides only is called a quadrilateral. The rectangle, the trapezium and the rhombus are examples of quadrilaterals. Task 5. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Decide if the following sentences are true or false: A rectangle is a quadrilateral that has four equal angles. A square can be described as a rectangle that has two adjacent sides of equal length. All quadrilaterals are polygons. All polygons are quadrilaterals. If each angle of a rhombus is 90 degrees, it is a square. Geometric Figures – Three-Dimensional Geometry 3-D geometry is the geometry of three-dimensional space. It is called three dimensional, or 3-D, because there are three dimensions: width, depth and height. There are two main types of solids (3-D shapes): polyhedra and nonpolyhedra, (singular – polyhedron, plural –polyhedra/polyhedrons). Polyhedra have flat faces. Match the name to the solid: cube, cuboid, pyramid, prism, cone, cylinder, sphere, torus (pl. tori) Task 6. 1._______ 2._______ 5._______ 3.________ 6.________ 7.________ Weights and Measures Task 7. Weight 1 gram (g) = 0.001 kilogram (kg) The weights in the table are mixed. Match the metric values to their GB&US equivalents: UK&US 1 ounce (oz) 1 pound (lb) = 16 ounces (oz) 1 stone = 14 pounds (lb) 1 US Short ton = 2,000 pounds (lb) 1 UK Long ton = 2,240 pounds (lb) 2,204.6 pounds (lb) Task 8. long – length Metric 1,016.04 kilograms 28.350 grams 0.454 kilograms (kg) 6.35036 kilograms 1 tonne (t) = 1,000 kg 907.184 kg Length, area, volume, liquid: capacity/volume deep – depth wide – width heavy – weight 2 tall / high - height 4._______ 8._______ SJO PW - Język angielski ogólnotechniczny, Poziom B2 Opracowanie: I.
